Hour 1 One: Curtis Sliwa filling-in for Mark Simone · The Mark Simone Show

0:04
Speaker 1: Now the Guardian Angel of talk radio is here. Curtis
0:09
Speaker 1: sleewa guest host the Mark Simone Show on seven to
0:13
Speaker 1: ten Woo. I'm substituting from Marx Simone. I appreciate the
0:17
Speaker 1: opportunity that program director Tom Cuddy and Mark have given
0:21
Speaker 1: me again here at iHeart, so that my voice could
0:25
Speaker 1: be heard and your voice could be heard. But understand this,
0:29
Speaker 1: if you've ever heard me in talk radio, as Crash
0:32
Speaker 1: has forced to listen, he had no choice, he was
0:35
Speaker 1: the board operator. I always question authority. I'm not part
0:41
Speaker 1: of the chorus. And if you're waking up or you
0:45
Speaker 1: just went out and had your cup cool fee and
0:49
Speaker 1: your Danish, that's very important, that word Danish. Because the
0:56
Speaker 1: lead story is absolutely mind. Our President Donald Trump has
1:02
Speaker 1: lost it. He's gone cuckoo for cocoal puffs. He wants greenland,
1:09
Speaker 1: really greenland. Yeah, we're ready to go to the war
1:13
Speaker 1: to get Greenland. Let me explain how this has gone
1:17
Speaker 1: completely absurd because there are so many of you out there.
1:22
Speaker 1: Just like there are Democrats who can justify anything the
1:25
Speaker 1: Democrats say do, there are Republicans out there, especially those
1:29
Speaker 1: who are maga, who can justify anything that Trump says
1:33
Speaker 1: or does, but this is completely nuts. So today is
1:39
Speaker 1: the start of the World Economic Forum at Dovels in Switzerland.
1:44
Speaker 1: All the richest, all the world leaders of the Fortune
1:49
Speaker 1: five hundred companies and obviously of nations will be there
1:55
Speaker 1: and what they call a spirited dialogue. Let's know, spirited.
1:59
Speaker 1: Dieg here, what are you talking about? You're heard in
2:03
Speaker 1: the lead story that even the Canadians are saying they're
2:08
Speaker 1: going to send troops to Greenland to protect their sovereignty
2:12
Speaker 1: against the potential invasion by the United States. That alone
2:16
Speaker 1: sounds crazy. Reminds me of the movie Canadian Bacon, you
2:20
Speaker 1: remember with John Candy. We'll get into that. I'll make
2:22
Speaker 1: all the links. And that the President of the United States,
2:27
Speaker 1: the most powerful man in the world, apparently over the weekend,
2:33
Speaker 1: in the aftermath of major demonstrations against the United States
2:40
Speaker 1: in Greenland. Who would have ever thought there'd be demonstrations
2:44
Speaker 1: other than by reindeer in Greenland and in Denmark. Who
2:48
Speaker 1: has been our best ally in Europe, not a fair
2:52
Speaker 1: weathered friend, who lost troops in Afghanistan fighting side by
2:57
Speaker 1: side with the Americans and in Iraq when some other
3:01
Speaker 1: countries would not send their own troops. And by the way,
3:04
Speaker 1: in the invasion of Iraq in two thousand and three,
3:10
Speaker 1: remember how all of a sudden we were so upset
3:12
Speaker 1: with the French they wouldn't send troops that we decided
3:15
Speaker 1: to rename French fries Freedom fries. How did that work out? Right?
3:19
Speaker 1: When's the last time you went to a diner you
3:22
Speaker 1: had a cheeseburg special and you say, man, hold those
3:25
Speaker 1: French fries, I want American fries. That was the dumbest
3:30
Speaker 1: invasion for weapons of mass destruction, right, we're still looking
3:34
Speaker 1: for those weapons of mass destruction. What a mess in
3:37
Speaker 1: Iraq we created, Dick Cheney Bush forty three. But oh yeah,
3:43
Speaker 1: we were gonna align ourselves because Dick Cheney had convinced
3:49
Speaker 1: us that it was really set out Hussein who had
3:54
Speaker 1: launched the attack against the World Trade Center. At least
3:56
Speaker 1: he wanted people to know that and not al Qaeda.
4:05
Speaker 1: This is nuts, This is all over again. And I'm
4:07
Speaker 1: gonna give you all an opportunity to weigh in, especially
4:10
Speaker 1: those who want to defend the president in this madness
4:15
Speaker 1: to basically take Greenland by all means possible. And there's
4:19
Speaker 1: a history of this, and we're gonna go through that
4:21
Speaker 1: because typically, you know, when you haven't talk shows, and
4:24
Speaker 1: that's why it gives me a headache. After a while,
4:26
Speaker 1: it's like a repeat cycle. They just repeat themselves over
4:29
Speaker 1: and over and over instead of saying no, no, no
4:31
Speaker 1: question authority. This does not make sense. Stand up to authority.
4:39
Speaker 1: If it don't sound right, I guarantee you it ain't right.
4:44
Speaker 1: So let's get those phone lines singing and ringing. Here
4:48
Speaker 1: the station that I listen to now as often as
4:51
Speaker 1: I can with my wife Nancy seven to ten woor
4:54
Speaker 1: are the voice in New York eight hundred three two
4:57
Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. That's eight hundred and three two
5:01
Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. And let me tell you, I
5:06
Speaker 1: guarantee you the next thing that the President of the
5:09
Speaker 1: United States will do is issue a ten percent tariff
5:13
Speaker 1: on any Danish that we eat in the United States.
5:16
Speaker 1: That's right, be prepared for this crash. Actually, a couple
5:20
Speaker 1: of core fee and your order of Danish. By the way,
5:22
Speaker 1: my favorite is Alman Apple. I had one this morning
5:25
Speaker 1: in support of Denmark. Is this nuts? Now? What is it?
5:32
Speaker 1: You're like accustod Danish or fruit Danish, your sweet Danny.
5:35
Speaker 1: You know the origin of it is comes from Denmark,
5:38
Speaker 1: you know, back to the Vikings, the Norseman Eric de
5:41
Speaker 1: red Lee Ferrison. Yeah, we're gonna get into all of that.
5:45
Speaker 1: How Greenland was first colonized even though they had their
5:49
Speaker 1: own indigenous people there. You know, we always called hey, yeah,
5:52
Speaker 1: we colonize it. We found that, we discovered it. Yeah,
5:55
Speaker 1: there were people they were already from actually went Norway
6:01
Speaker 1: to Denmark, to Iceland, to Greenland, to Hollyfox, to Newfoundland
6:06
Speaker 1: to Prince Edward Island, to the Maritime provinces where apparently
6:11
Speaker 1: Leif Erickson left a little bit of uh we'll call
6:16
Speaker 1: it a squat, and then it disappeared over time, like
6:20
Speaker 1: five hundred years before. Christopher Columbus in fourteen ninety two,
6:24
Speaker 1: right went west in order to discover East with a Nina,
6:28
Speaker 1: the Pinter, the Santa the Maria. Yes, I know, crash,
6:30
Speaker 1: I know you say, the Nina, the Pinter, the Santa Maria.
6:33
Speaker 1: None of there were four ships, trust me on that. Anyway,
6:39
Speaker 1: this is crazy. I'm let's see you all morning. Look.
6:43
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, hey, yeah, this makes sense. Hell,
6:47
Speaker 1: the United States, we need Greenland for our own security,
6:51
Speaker 1: of the world's security. Really, really, what eight hundred three
6:56
Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten. It's one eight hundred three
6:59
Speaker 1: to two one zero sevent ten. I'd love some of
7:01
Speaker 1: you armchair experts wherever you are off you're happen to
7:05
Speaker 1: be in your car, if you're happen to be in
7:06
Speaker 1: an eighteen wheelchack to trailer, if you happen to be
7:09
Speaker 1: listening online, if you happen to be at home, and
7:12
Speaker 1: you can tell you, oh yeah, this is priority number one.
7:16
Speaker 1: We must take Greenland by all means necessary. Crash it is.
7:23
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this is right out of the movie
7:25
Speaker 1: Canadian Bacon. Remember nineteen ninety five. This was Michael Moore
7:28
Speaker 1: made that movie with Yard Candy, Remember Allen Halt. And
7:33
Speaker 1: now Canada is gonna send truths to Greenland and helped
7:36
Speaker 1: protect its sovereignty against who putin president She who's on first,
7:44
Speaker 1: I don't know, is on second belly slide into third
7:47
Speaker 1: from Red China now against us? Is this not nuts?
7:55
Speaker 1: So I want you, in support of the Danes, to
7:57
Speaker 1: go out there and buy as many Danish as you
8:01
Speaker 1: can before the President of the United States at Davos
8:04
Speaker 1: in Switzerland imposes eight ten percent tariff on all the
8:08
Speaker 1: Danish shit we eat. Here in the United States. I
8:10
Speaker 1: certainly had my Almend Apple Danish this morning and I
8:14
Speaker 1: felt so good, so nourished, and I'm looking at television. Yeah,
8:20
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about what's going on in Minneapolis. I've
8:22
Speaker 1: been there many years. I know that city like the
8:25
Speaker 1: back of my hand. And there is a connection here Lutherans.
8:27
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Lutherans. It came about in the Scandinavian countries.
8:32
Speaker 1: They ended up occupying Minnesota. They're more Lutherans there than
8:35
Speaker 1: anywhere else in the United States. I'll make the linkage there.
8:38
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, let's stay focused on this absolute nutty
8:44
Speaker 1: situation that the President of the United States is getting
8:47
Speaker 1: us into. So apparently Donald Trump, in advance to going
8:53
Speaker 1: to Davos in Switzerland with all the billionaires and kazillionaires
8:58
Speaker 1: and the masters of the universe, texted the Prime Minister
9:04
Speaker 1: of Norway that he no longer felt obliged to think
9:09
Speaker 1: purely of peace and that the world would not be
9:14
Speaker 1: secure until America controlled Greenland. And he claims, as a
9:23
Speaker 1: real estate guy would or a landward, where's the deed.
9:26
Speaker 1: I want to see the deed that Denmark has to
9:30
Speaker 1: say that the land of Queenland is theirs to occupy.
9:36
Speaker 1: Apparently the President didn't do very well in the history
9:39
Speaker 1: when he went to Fordham University, when he went to
9:43
Speaker 1: Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, or
9:47
Speaker 1: even to the New York Military Academy of State when
9:50
Speaker 1: his father Fred sent him there. By the way, another
9:52
Speaker 1: person who went there, his father couldn't control them. When
9:56
Speaker 1: you can't control your son's where do you send them?
9:58
Speaker 1: Crash to a military academy used to be Lesal out
10:02
Speaker 1: in Long Island. They had the cousin ust Wing out there.
10:05
Speaker 1: These were fathers who couldn't control their sons, so they
10:07
Speaker 1: sent him out there. But it's like boarding school. John
10:10
Speaker 1: Gotti Jr. Was sent up to the New York Military
10:12
Speaker 1: Academy in the Hudson Valley by yes, John Gotti Senior,
10:15
Speaker 1: who could not control the sun. But let's push that aside.
10:21
Speaker 1: And then the President goes into this wret to the
10:26
Speaker 1: Prime Ministuff of Norway. And by the way, I want
10:31
Speaker 1: my Nobel Peace Prize that Norway controls. Anybody explained to
10:37
Speaker 1: the Presidental maybe they're so afraid to talk to him
10:39
Speaker 1: in the White House that Norway the country does not
10:43
Speaker 1: control the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, and that he already
10:48
Speaker 1: got his Nobel Peace Prize when all of a sudden
10:53
Speaker 1: Maria Corina Machado visited him. Who should have been the
10:58
Speaker 1: duly elected president and part of the administration of Venezuela.
11:02
Speaker 1: With our takeover there by the way, all that oil
11:06
Speaker 1: that we've seized, now six oil tankers crash. You know
11:08
Speaker 1: where the money's gonna go once we sell it. It's
11:11
Speaker 1: not gonna go into a bank in the United States,
11:13
Speaker 1: of which there are many. We're banking it in Qatar. Now,
11:18
Speaker 1: why would we be putting the proceeds from the six
11:22
Speaker 1: oil tankers that we have seized and a bank in Qatar.
11:28
Speaker 1: I might as well put it in a bank in
11:30
Speaker 1: Switzerland that came in islands, Panama, out of sight, out
11:35
Speaker 1: of mind, or maybe even Dubai. That's where a lot
11:39
Speaker 1: of money laudering gets none. I've been to all these places, okay,
11:43
Speaker 1: and nobody is asking these questions. Nobody If a Democrat
11:49
Speaker 1: asked them all, that's because you hate Trump. But if
11:52
Speaker 1: you're independent and autonomous and you're not just a sickle fan,
11:56
Speaker 1: toty or lackey, why would you not ask these questions,
12:01
Speaker 1: Is this not the nuttiest thing you've ever heard and
12:05
Speaker 1: seen over the weekend in the streets of Copenhagen. That's right,
12:10
Speaker 1: they weren't having their Ludifish crash. Oh no, I'm in
12:13
Speaker 1: the Copenhagen Ludafish You know. Your take used to be
12:15
Speaker 1: the ferry over from Gothenburg, Sweden, where I have the
12:19
Speaker 1: Guardian Angels, and everybody be drunk on that ferry and
12:22
Speaker 1: vomiting over into the North Sea there. Now they got
12:25
Speaker 1: the bridge. They were protesting against the United States in Greenland,
12:32
Speaker 1: protesting against United States. This is crazy. The most loyal
12:43
Speaker 1: European country, Denmark, would send troops, unfortunately to Iraq for
12:50
Speaker 1: a fake war for weapons of mass destruction. They lost
12:54
Speaker 1: men in battle in Iraq. They lost men in battle
12:58
Speaker 1: serving with Americans in Afghanistan. And this is how we
13:01
Speaker 1: reward them. We ch didn't like fair weather friends. Up next,
13:07
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to take you on a little history
13:08
Speaker 1: lesson about Greenland, its origin, Lee Ferriics and Eric the
13:14
Speaker 1: Red pay Ridge Sunset park. Boy. I'm gonna tie it
13:18
Speaker 1: all up in a neat bundle, and I can't wait
13:22
Speaker 1: to talk to all of you who just want to
13:25
Speaker 1: join that chorus and say, yeah, you now Trump here
13:29
Speaker 1: it has a reason to do this, shaking the sword,
13:32
Speaker 1: threatening war. The Canada is sending its troops to Greenland
13:38
Speaker 1: to protect the reindeer from who Russia, Red China, No
13:44
Speaker 1: an evasion by the United States. Three to two, one
13:51
Speaker 1: zero seven ten. Let's talk radio like you've never had before.
13:54
Speaker 1: Come on, let's face it been doing this for thirty
13:57
Speaker 1: five years. I'll be damned if I'm gonna come on
14:00
Speaker 1: to a great station like wor the Voice in New
14:02
Speaker 1: York seven ten and just lip sync what everybody else
14:06
Speaker 1: is saying. Hell, no, think for yourself, question authority, This
14:12
Speaker 1: is nuts. But you gotta line up behind our president
14:16
Speaker 1: Donald Trump at Davos. He's gonna be there with all
14:20
Speaker 1: the billionaires, kazillionaires, masters of the universe. Leaders are what
14:24
Speaker 1: we call first world countries. In Switzerland, which was always
14:29
Speaker 1: famous for being neutral and where you could hide money
14:33
Speaker 1: in a Swiss bank account and of also Swiss miss
14:38
Speaker 1: hot chocolate. You know, the hawk is talking, it's getting
14:41
Speaker 1: cold out there, It's gonna get colder, and it so
14:44
Speaker 1: reminds me of Greenland. I don't think they've ever had
14:48
Speaker 1: a demonstration in Greenland before but over the weekend, we
14:52
Speaker 1: are not for sale and signs up with their reindeers.
14:56
Speaker 1: No means no. That's something that Andrew Cuomo never understood, right,
15:01
Speaker 1: No means no. Uh, Yankee go home, Yankee go home.
15:07
Speaker 1: As if we were talking about a third world country
15:10
Speaker 1: in Central or South America. Greenland is already great. Hands
15:15
Speaker 1: off us, say make America go away. These were demonstrations
15:20
Speaker 1: against US in Greenland and in our best ally in Europe, Denmark,
15:27
Speaker 1: in Copenhagen, and they're all scratching their heads and saying,
15:31
Speaker 1: what you know, with part of NATO, you want to
15:34
Speaker 1: hit us with a ten percent tariff. These tariffs are ridiculous.
15:38
Speaker 1: The US Senate needs to grow a pair. That's their
15:41
Speaker 1: responsibility and saying no, we have the responsibility to issue tariffs.
15:46
Speaker 1: You know, everybody wants to talk about James Monroe, the
15:49
Speaker 1: Monroe Doctrine, now called the don doctrine by President Trump. No, no, No,
15:53
Speaker 1: The more important president is James Madison, who created the
15:57
Speaker 1: balance in government because he said, you cannot trust any
16:01
Speaker 1: group of individuals to make decisions that are beneficial to
16:05
Speaker 1: the people. There has to be checks and balances that
16:08
Speaker 1: the guy who wrote the Constitution, the guy who wrote
16:10
Speaker 1: the Bill of Rights. Maybe some of you out there
16:12
Speaker 1: want to do away with the Constitution, do away with
16:14
Speaker 1: the Bill of Rights. This is nuts. I'm sure right
16:21
Speaker 1: now someone in Hollywood is planning on creating a movie.
16:27
Speaker 1: We had Canadian Bacon, you remember, in nineteen ninety five,
16:30
Speaker 1: done by yes, Michael Moore, the documentarian. But this was
16:33
Speaker 1: a movie with John Candy. Do you remember Crash as
16:37
Speaker 1: Sheriff Bud Boomer, who was absorbing all the propaganda campaign
16:43
Speaker 1: to villify Canada by Alan Alter, the president who needed
16:49
Speaker 1: who needed a boost in his popularity, although it had
16:52
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the midterm elections. I was rai
16:55
Speaker 1: a pro man. I remember Jim Blushy ripped torn Dan Ackleroyd,
17:00
Speaker 1: now all the Canadian actors. That was a great movie.
17:03
Speaker 1: And remember the headline, help America fight the Canadians. Well
17:11
Speaker 1: wait a second, you know recently Trump did that when
17:14
Speaker 1: Trudeau was still the Prime minister. Hopelessly liberal. He said
17:18
Speaker 1: he wanted to annext Canada and make it the fifty
17:21
Speaker 1: first state. He said Canada will dissolve without the USA. Well, then,
17:28
Speaker 1: as I gotta tell you, I'm out in the streets.
17:30
Speaker 1: Every day you go to Times Square, you get a
17:32
Speaker 1: pretty good lit mustache. Of the tourists who are coming in.
17:35
Speaker 1: Tourism is down. The one group that always used to come,
17:38
Speaker 1: that love coming to New York City, Canadians. Yeah, they're
17:41
Speaker 1: not coming that much anymore. I wonder why, what is
17:47
Speaker 1: wrong with our president? What happened to America? First? You know,
17:52
Speaker 1: let's take care of things here in the USA course
17:55
Speaker 1: of living. I mean, the affordability for America. Let's focus
18:02
Speaker 1: on America first. Now it's America wants to rule the world.
18:07
Speaker 1: And I don't know about some of you, maybe you're
18:11
Speaker 1: all into this. Maybe whatever way the president goes, you're
18:15
Speaker 1: on board. You're like high fiving him for this. And
18:20
Speaker 1: you know, there wasn't the attempt think back. A lot
18:22
Speaker 1: of you aren't thinking back. He's always had this obsession
18:25
Speaker 1: with greenland. In his first term of office, he wanted Greenland.
18:30
Speaker 1: And remember I think it was right after Hurricane Maria.
18:35
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Hurricane Maria that was like twenty seventeen and
18:39
Speaker 1: the like devastated Puerto Rico. And he goes, ah, that's
18:42
Speaker 1: costing us too much money to repair Puerto Rico. You know,
18:46
Speaker 1: they've had an earthquake, they've had hurricane. Why don't we
18:49
Speaker 1: just swap Greenland for Puerto Rico? I'm asking you right now,
18:54
Speaker 1: in this arctic fritage, where would you rather be crashed
18:58
Speaker 1: in Puerto Rico or Greenland? I think we know where
19:01
Speaker 1: most Americans would go, Puerto Rico. And I remember he
19:06
Speaker 1: had his fellow classmate it Wharton School of Business, Ron Lauder,
19:10
Speaker 1: you know, the cosmetics guy who had known Trump quite well,
19:15
Speaker 1: will in New York, and he tried to convince President
19:20
Speaker 1: Trump at the time of his first term. I think
19:23
Speaker 1: it was twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen, swap Puerto Rico
19:28
Speaker 1: for Greenland. This unbelievable obsession with Greenland, unbelievable obsession in
19:36
Speaker 1: having a Nobel Peace Prize, and an unbelievable obsession of
19:41
Speaker 1: not knowing the history of Eric the redleaf Erickson, how
19:49
Speaker 1: the Norsemen actually went west and they weren't trying to
19:52
Speaker 1: find the east like Christopher Columbus five hundred years later.
19:56
Speaker 1: And you know we could learn all this the annual
19:59
Speaker 1: per Oh yeah, bay Ridge, you had no did you
20:02
Speaker 1: know that crash? You know they have the Norwegian Parade
20:05
Speaker 1: there up third fourth Avenue in honor of Leef Ferricks,
20:08
Speaker 1: And they stopped in the park there at like sixty
20:11
Speaker 1: eighth and Eric the read, Oh, quite a story. Maybe
20:16
Speaker 1: Americans need to go back and study history and understand
20:21
Speaker 1: why our president couldn't be more hopelessly wrong on this.
20:26
Speaker 1: So you can rise to the occasion, you could explain
20:29
Speaker 1: to me on this your time to be heard. Why
20:33
Speaker 1: as the President has told the Prime Minister of Norway,
20:38
Speaker 1: which by the way, has nothing at all to do
20:41
Speaker 1: with Greenland, that it is up to us to seize
20:45
Speaker 1: Greenland the United States to provide security for the world. Yeah,
20:54
Speaker 1: and have I heard anybody challenge it other than Democrats?
20:58
Speaker 1: Obviously they'll challenge everything that Trump said. No, no, no,
21:00
Speaker 1: you know, fellow Republicans, independence people who believe that you
21:07
Speaker 1: process information of it. It don't sound right. I guarantee
21:11
Speaker 1: you it ain't right. One eight hundred three to two
21:14
Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. That's one eight hundred three two
21:18
Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. Curtis Leewan from Mark Simone today
21:22
Speaker 1: on the Voice of New York my favorite station now
21:25
Speaker 1: and Nancy my wife w R sevent ten. They love
21:29
Speaker 1: in the Scandinavian countries, So ludifis the fiscal balls because
21:32
Speaker 1: there's going to be a ten percent tariff imposed on that.
21:36
Speaker 1: Is this crazy? Yes?
21:38
Speaker 2: It is?
21:40
Speaker 1: Was it crazy that I was stuck in Hurricane Noel
21:44
Speaker 1: in Halifax in November of two thousand and seven crash
21:47
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven organizing Guardian Angels. A hurricane hits,
21:53
Speaker 1: everybody is grounded. At that time, Citadel owned WABS. They
22:00
Speaker 1: had just fired Ron Koby. I was part of the
22:02
Speaker 1: morning show. They kept me overnight syndicated. They got rid
22:06
Speaker 1: of Kobe and they brought in Imus, who started the
22:09
Speaker 1: beginning of the next year two thousand and eight. This
22:12
Speaker 1: all happened while he was in a Halifax. So while
22:15
Speaker 1: I'm there, there's nothing to do, you're getting hit by
22:17
Speaker 1: a hurricane. I'm getting these historians who are coming up
22:21
Speaker 1: to me and saying, oh, you know, Curtis. You know
22:24
Speaker 1: it was Eric the Red from Norway. Why did they
22:27
Speaker 1: call him Eric the Red because he he was dressed
22:29
Speaker 1: and ready, he had all red hair. He got exiled
22:32
Speaker 1: from Norway because he killed a bunch of guys. He
22:35
Speaker 1: got charged with manslaughter, so they sent him to Iceland.
22:39
Speaker 1: They banned them from Norway. Remember he was a Viking
22:42
Speaker 1: at that time Norseman. Then his son is Leif Ericson,
22:47
Speaker 1: and his son kills some guys in Iceland and he
22:51
Speaker 1: gets banned from manslaughter. So he's got to go west,
22:56
Speaker 1: not to find the east the Columbus did five hundred
22:59
Speaker 1: years later, and he lands along with his daddy, Eric
23:02
Speaker 1: the Read, in what we now know is Greenland. That's
23:06
Speaker 1: how long ago. This is like a thousand after the
23:09
Speaker 1: death of Christ. And then he gets into a fight
23:14
Speaker 1: with his father, Eric the Red, who believes in Odin,
23:18
Speaker 1: the Norse god, and leif Erickson has become a Christian,
23:22
Speaker 1: so they part company and leif Erckson continues that voyage
23:26
Speaker 1: going west. And what does he land in Newfoundland? You know,
23:30
Speaker 1: not far from Prince Edward Island, Halifax, where I was.
23:32
Speaker 1: So I learned this whole history. And they showed where
23:36
Speaker 1: his encampment was on a map. And you know, every
23:41
Speaker 1: year if you go to bay Ridge, I'm in bay
23:43
Speaker 1: Ridge constantly. They have the Norwegian Day Parade. It's May seventeenth.
23:48
Speaker 1: My dad used to call them squareheads because he said
23:51
Speaker 1: the Norwegians were the best seamen ever. And my dad
23:53
Speaker 1: was a merchant, seeming close to fifty years. So they
23:55
Speaker 1: call them squareheads because they would have always squared the map,
23:58
Speaker 1: and they lived in Sunset Park in Bay Ridge. And
24:01
Speaker 1: that parade ends at leef Ericckson Park at sixty seventh
24:04
Speaker 1: and third. So that's a little bit of the history
24:09
Speaker 1: of how Denmark is involved in this, and Scandinavian countries
24:16
Speaker 1: and Iceland and Greenland and not the United States, which
24:22
Speaker 1: has access to Greenland to do almost whatever we want
24:25
Speaker 1: with our ally who's been there so sick and ten
24:29
Speaker 1: for us and numbers one eight hundred and three to
24:33
Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. Let's quickly go to Bob, who
24:38
Speaker 1: I believe is calling from Connecticut. Your turn to be
24:40
Speaker 1: heard here at seven ten wo or Bob.
24:44
Speaker 3: Jake Curtis, thanks for taking my call. I think you
24:47
Speaker 3: should be the mayor of New York.
24:48
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question before before you patronize
24:51
Speaker 1: me about you should be the mayor of New York.
24:54
Speaker 1: You said, thank you for taking my call. I have
24:58
Speaker 1: just spent like twenty minutes giving the number out. I
25:03
Speaker 1: should be thanking you for calling up, not oh, I
25:07
Speaker 1: know Bob in Connecticut here. I'm gonna take your call first. Okay,
25:10
Speaker 1: let's square that away.
25:11
Speaker 3: Okay, you're right, Okay, I accept your thanks, You're welcome.
25:16
Speaker 3: I just want to say this is just one man's opinion, Like,
25:20
Speaker 3: why shouldn't we have Greenland. It's a gigantic track of
25:24
Speaker 3: basically barren land, and there's like ice and rocks, it's nothing.
25:30
Speaker 3: There's only fifty thousand people there. We can make much
25:33
Speaker 3: better use of it than Denmark. What does Denmark want
25:36
Speaker 3: with it?
25:37
Speaker 2: Let me?
25:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, well do we apply that to every land mass
25:43
Speaker 1: in the world. You know, there are special minerals deep
25:46
Speaker 1: underneath the tundra of Greenland that are worth billions and
25:50
Speaker 1: billions of dollars, Just like that oil in Venezuela. You know,
25:54
Speaker 1: we went in, we took to the oil. We're now
25:56
Speaker 1: banking the money from the sale of the oil in
25:59
Speaker 1: the six oil tankers that we've seized in Qatar. Does
26:02
Speaker 1: that bother you that we're banking it in Qatar and
26:05
Speaker 1: not any content not in a bank in the United States? Bob,
26:10
Speaker 1: do you question that I have? Oh yeah, that sounds
26:14
Speaker 1: weird to me.
26:14
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
26:15
Speaker 1: Okay, but don't don't you think that all of us
26:18
Speaker 1: as citizens will pay our taxes. Many of us who
26:22
Speaker 1: vote we have a right to be heard and say, wait,
26:24
Speaker 1: wait about a second. But seizing all the oil in Venezuela,
26:28
Speaker 1: I get it. We're going to help Venezuela down the line.
26:31
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, whatever money comes in from the
26:34
Speaker 1: sale of the oil, the six oil tankers that we've seized,
26:39
Speaker 1: we're going to put in a bank in Qatar.
26:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's weird.
26:46
Speaker 1: A tariff, tariffs ridiculous.
26:49
Speaker 3: They get a better interest rate on the money.
26:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's called money laundering. Well, okay, okay, you accept that.
26:59
Speaker 2: I don't.
27:00
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I can't. I ask questions,
27:05
Speaker 1: Oh my god, does it make sense? Why Qatar? Why
27:10
Speaker 1: not in the United States? How many banks do we
27:12
Speaker 1: have here? But you see, you can't keep track of
27:16
Speaker 1: money in Qatar or a Dubai, a Switzerland, and a
27:19
Speaker 1: Panama or the Cayman Islands. That's where you go to
27:23
Speaker 1: lawndon money. I'm not suggesting we're laundering money, but why Katar?
27:30
Speaker 1: Inquiring minds want to know. Let's go to Danny, who's
27:35
Speaker 1: calling from Long Island. Your turn to be heard here
27:38
Speaker 1: at seven to ten, wr Danny.
27:41
Speaker 2: Well time, Curtis fans. This we first laid eyes on
27:44
Speaker 2: each other. I was walking up beating Times Square in
27:46
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty six. You were in the back of my
27:48
Speaker 2: brother's street time cab looking happy, good times, Curtis good,
27:52
Speaker 2: we're getting old. Well, listen, this is pure Trump. One
27:56
Speaker 2: of his biggest pet peeves is NATO. Well, who's sending
27:59
Speaker 2: troops to Green Now, Canada, Finland, the French they're gonna
28:03
Speaker 2: end up defending You don't need You don't need a
28:05
Speaker 2: hundred thousand troops on NATO to defend it. You need
28:08
Speaker 2: one little base with some soldiers, put a little port there.
28:11
Speaker 2: The American ships can come land and guess what, Now
28:14
Speaker 2: it's defended because you can't. You can't. You can't annex
28:18
Speaker 2: any country, whether it's China or the United States, if
28:21
Speaker 2: there's troops from another country sitting there, like just like Taiwan.
28:24
Speaker 2: They're not aving Taiwan because of the American soldiers there, not
28:27
Speaker 2: enough to defend the place, but it would be an
28:28
Speaker 2: international scene. So this is pure Trump. He's getting these Europeans.
28:32
Speaker 2: They don't want to do a damn thing. He's got
28:34
Speaker 2: them all rallied against Trump. And now what are they doing?
28:38
Speaker 2: Exactly what he wants them to do. Defend Greenland, not
28:41
Speaker 2: from Russia but from China. They're all over there with
28:44
Speaker 2: their basis, just like we sawt purchasing Alaska was a disaster.
28:48
Speaker 2: Steward Ice Box hundred. Hold on question, Dan, Go ahead, Curtis.
28:53
Speaker 1: This is all a pre plan Trump in the White House. Yeah,
28:59
Speaker 1: let's go them into sending troops into Greenland. I don't
29:04
Speaker 1: know the stent. We already have a base in Greenland.
29:06
Speaker 1: We've had bases there before. We have an open invitation
29:10
Speaker 1: to set up bases wherever we want. You don't think
29:13
Speaker 1: this is about the mineral deposits underneath the tundra that
29:17
Speaker 1: is now surfacing as the ice and the glaciers are melting, Curtis.
29:22
Speaker 2: Everything is about minerals and oil and everything, and this
29:26
Speaker 2: is just one place that the Chinese would like to have.
29:29
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I'm sure. But that's a totalitarian regime as
29:34
Speaker 1: is putin in Russia. So now, even though we're supposed
29:38
Speaker 1: to have checks and balances here in the United States,
29:40
Speaker 1: remember the Constitution, the Bill of Wrights. Remember James Madison
29:43
Speaker 1: who said you have to have checks and balances. We
29:46
Speaker 1: basically trust the president's moral compass because they said, well,
29:50
Speaker 1: who keeps you in check, mister president, he said, my
29:53
Speaker 1: moral compass.
29:55
Speaker 2: He is not invading Greenland. Can There's not going to
29:59
Speaker 2: be a millet terry koo Deata by the army or
30:02
Speaker 2: the Navy or the seal teams. I just paid two
30:05
Speaker 2: dollars and forty nine cents for gas and Trump by
30:08
Speaker 2: trust the FED. The Atlanta Chief of Fed just raised
30:11
Speaker 2: the GPS has the midst of four point five next year.
30:15
Speaker 2: Everything he's done has come up roses so far. The
30:18
Speaker 2: border is locked down. I'm gonna believe that there's a
30:21
Speaker 2: plan in place for Greenland. And he knows exactly what
30:24
Speaker 2: he's doing.
30:25
Speaker 1: Man, drink the kool aid. Drink the kool aid. Oh,
30:30
Speaker 1: gas is down. So whatever Trump does is okay by me.
30:35
Speaker 1: He would never invade Greenland. He just says this to
30:40
Speaker 1: force others to take care of their responsibility. This is
30:45
Speaker 1: the same guy, our president, who blamed the Ukraine for
30:48
Speaker 1: starting the war with Russia. Remember, oh, well Russian invade Ukraine.
30:53
Speaker 1: No no, no, that was Ukraine. Yeah yeah, yeah. What
30:56
Speaker 1: do we want in the Ukraine?
30:57
Speaker 2: Oh?
30:58
Speaker 1: The valuable minerals? So is that what this is? Whatever
31:04
Speaker 1: we want in the world, we take even if it
31:06
Speaker 1: ain't us by threats, by intimidation, and then we trust
31:12
Speaker 1: whoever is the president to be omnipotent, all knowing, all trusting,
31:17
Speaker 1: and we don't have checks and balances. I hope the
31:20
Speaker 1: United States Supreme Court does the right thing on these tariffs. Tariffs. Really,
31:27
Speaker 1: so if I disagree with the United States, we impose
31:30
Speaker 1: tariffs on you like they did in Brazil. How did
31:35
Speaker 1: that work out? Right? Oh, you're not going to tell
31:38
Speaker 1: us what to do with our former president who tried
31:40
Speaker 1: to read the election bal scenario. No, no, oh, fifty
31:43
Speaker 1: percent tariff the president Trump put on Lula, and Lula said, okay, no,
31:49
Speaker 1: problem didn't work. I realize a lot of you. You
31:54
Speaker 1: like cheap energy, you like cheap gas. You believe everything
31:58
Speaker 1: that Trump does. Maybe you'll think that he's gonna walk
32:01
Speaker 1: on water, you know, between Halifax, Greenland, Greenland to Iceland,
32:08
Speaker 1: Iceland to Denmark, Denmark to Norway. But you're not gonna
32:13
Speaker 1: challenge or question at aardi. You're like sheep. You need
32:19
Speaker 1: a sheepherder. And for so many of you, whoever's in power,
32:24
Speaker 1: that's your sheepherder, not me. One eight hundred and three
32:27
Speaker 1: to two one zero from here we go to Minneapolis
32:30
Speaker 1: with there are a lot of former Scandinavians who settled
32:34
Speaker 1: there many many decades ago. And I'll give you my
32:38
Speaker 1: input on Ice versus Minneapolis and what the answer is.
32:44
Speaker 1: You don't want to go anywhere on this. It should
32:46
Speaker 1: be a new listening station seven to ten WR ten war. Oh,
32:54
Speaker 1: we'll be talking about Minneapolis in the next hour. Spent
32:58
Speaker 1: a lot of time there. You know, when the federal marshals,
33:03
Speaker 1: the US marshals have to snatch up a suspect with
33:07
Speaker 1: a federal warrant, you know what time they do it, crash.
33:10
Speaker 1: They do it like three to five in the morning,
33:13
Speaker 1: when the person is normally asleep. And yet we're putting
33:19
Speaker 1: Ice in a situation where they're flooding the streets by
33:22
Speaker 1: day and being confronted by protesters. We'll talk about that.
33:26
Speaker 1: What is it that unites Zorhan Mandami and Donald Trump
33:33
Speaker 1: a fixation on bathrooms? Oh yeah, I'm gonna make the
33:36
Speaker 1: connection because with the start of his mayoralty, it's been
33:41
Speaker 1: a lot of focus on bathrooms for Zorhan. And then
33:46
Speaker 1: Eric Adams. I warned you, right, Eric Adams, swagger mare
33:49
Speaker 1: with no plan, a total crook, when I ran against
33:52
Speaker 1: him in twenty twenty one. So many of you tell
33:54
Speaker 1: me when you see me in the subways and streets
33:56
Speaker 1: you were right. He's a cook that would be chaos
33:59
Speaker 1: right out of the box. He's just a few hours
34:02
Speaker 1: away from being the mayor, the transfer of power, and
34:06
Speaker 1: he's already involved in bitcoin aka crime coin, and ripping
34:11
Speaker 1: off investors and acting like yo, yeah, no, no no,
34:16
Speaker 1: I'm for cryptocurrency, I'm for blockchain, I'm for bitcoin, I'm
34:20
Speaker 1: for crime coin, and boy a leopard cannot change its
34:24
Speaker 1: spots as we continue here on my place to be
34:29
Speaker 1: seven ten wrf you listen anywhere else, it's time to
34:34
Speaker 1: put your listening right here and the voice of New
34:36
Speaker 1: York seven ten wor
